Youtube stopped working in Pale Moon
Posted: 2018-01-12, 01:04
Two evenings ago smtube suddenly stopped working (the URL could not be found) in three versions of puppy linux. It did not help to reinstall the OS or smtube, update smtube from 15 to 17, or update cacert.pem, or change to three other computers.
Smtube listed available videos but would not play them.
That same evening Palemoon could play videos but only at 360p (even with the line about 'obsolete' in about:config changed to true).
The next day Palemoon (27.6) could no longer access any Youtube videos, in Linux (SSE version) or Windows 7 (endless moving circle).
Firefox 45.8 ESR and Seamonkey 2.46 play Youtube videos in puppy linux (at multiple resolutions). Vidmate still works on android phone.
I was also unable to download with youtube-dl. Parameter error.
Someone at Puppy Linux said to update smtube from 15 to 18 (which requires libQt5 libraries that we do not have) because Youtube just changed its code again.
Please confirm the problem. Is anyone working on a solution?
